Masks Are Designed to be Worn by a Select Few Case study: gelede secret society mask🎭🎭 Gelede secret society dancer wearing a traditional African mask, image courtesy of the Soul of Africa Museum Masks are reserved for specific members of the African community. Only a select few tribe leaders are endowed with the honor of being a mask wearer. They are almost always men, and often elders within the tribe, who have earned wisdom and respect over the years. When they wear the mask, tribes believe they become the spirit they wish to invoke. Women often help to decorate masks and their accompanying costumes, and sometimes they even dance alongside the mask wearer. Credit: the.collector🎭🎭🎭
